  Hey man, I'm also having troubles with the R4, I have a 2gb Lexar, and I'm also copying 5 files into the microSD. (_system_, moonshl, _DS_MENU.DAT, _DS_MENU.INI, _DS_MSHL.NDS) Is that correct, I have been at this for hours and you seem like the person to ask.

  And one more thing, I have an R4 SDHC, do i HAVE to use an SDHC card?

  No but you must have the firmware from www.r4ultra.com if you have the R4 SDHC Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS)
  I tried firmware from the suggested R4 regular spots and had no luck, I sent the guy I got it from an email to say that it didn't work and that my R4 was a clone and his supplier must have short changed him and this was the reply I got
  Hi,
  The reason people say these are clones is because R4 team was sued and doesnt exist anymore. The programming was sold to chinese companies, who came up with thier own hardware.
  These cards however definately do work with 4gb and even 8gb. The original R4 software does not work no, because the original R4 doesnt support SDHC and is very old.
  The software needed for this card is from www.r4ultra.com it has to be extracted onto the micro sd after it has been formatted.
  
  I followed the instructions in the email and as a result it was as easy as it should always be, Make sure you format the card even tho it does receive the files, fat32 is fine, then put the files in from the firmware after extracting them and try it, you should get the short loading screen and then it should go in to the R4 GUI front end, then turn it off and install a folder called Games and place your game files in there
  There is also an organiser for the DS and you can get that by looking up DSOrganise on google, but make sure you have all the game side of it working first before you start playing with other options,,
  Also it is a good idea to creat a backup of your Micro SD card on your desktop or to a directory of your choosing once you have it all working before you try something like DSOrganise just incase you do something to mess it up you can easily put it back to a working state, I would alwasy keep a good up to date backup incase for some reason your micro card stops working you can get a new card and format and copy accross your backup.
  I am certainly no specialist in this area infact a beginner of only a few days, but following the above instructions has given me a great easy working solution.
  does the original R4 group still exist ? No idea, I can only go by the email I received. All I can tell you is that Mine is now working and working well.
  Goodluck
